  • This book is definitely a must-read if you enjoy sweet'n'sexy all rolled into one! Appropriately named, this novel focuses on 4 nuns who are riden out of their safe and very strict convent in a little town in Spain due to an attack brought on by the Spanish Army who are searching for Basque leaders and believers; who in their eyes are terrorists.

    The 4 nuns set out to deliver a sacred cross to another convent, but on the way meet Jaime Miro, the charismatic Basque leader and his men. Along their journey they became friends, remember their pasts, and fall in love with the men they are forbidden to love. An excellent and exciting book!
  • THE SANDS OF TIME is a great book that has something for everyone. It is filled with action, intrigue,danger, and a hint of romance. This is the story of four nuns in Spain who are driven from their convent (they are Trappists one of the strictest orders of nuns)and forced to make a long journey to another convent for safety. Taking the only thing of value (a gold cross) with them, they set out on this journey, and face a world that will bring back memories for each.

    This journey is the focus of this grand novel.This book is vividly described and takes us around the world. Sheldon does a great job providing a wonderful story in war-torn Spain. If you love Sidney Sheldon's works or just a fantastic novel, Sheldon's THE SANDS OF TIME is a book you should read. It's well worth the money, so buy it today.
  • Sidney Sheldon's adventure is set amid the Basque rebellion in Spain in the 70s. Sadistic Colonel Acoca raids a convent, searching for the famous rebel leader, Jaime Miro. Four nuns, each with shocking past lives, escape and find themselves traveling the countryside with Miro's band of partisans. It is a cat and mouse game of chase between the ruthless Acoca and charismatic Miro, who suspects one of his friends is an informant.

    The action speeds along at a frantic, life-or-death pace, as in typical Sheldon style, there are endless close-calls and a conclusion that will leave you breathless and satisfied. This is one of the author's best, combining thrills, romance, politics, and ultimate justice. Fans of Sidney Sheldon's novels will definitely enjoy "The Sands of Time."
  • Wonderfully written, this book portraits you to a world unlike any other. That was the first book by Sidney Sheldon I read, a long time ago, and it's still my all time favorite.

    The story, full of twists make you seat on the edge of the chair the whole time. You suffer, laugh, run and have fun with the characters.
